This was shortly after the completion of the Kingston City Buildings, for which rens the carpenter contractor and Henry H. Benson was the Mas• ter of the ()rouge Lodge. Ogle R. GOWt1n was Grand Master of the Orange Order is Upper Canada at that time, and presided at the lodge meeting the evening we were initiat- ed. I am Bauch surprised and pain- ed to hear that Sir John should deny that he ever etas au Orangeman, and I hope you will permit mo to give a public denial to his statement.
